Re: Symptom of Gear Position Switch? S90-V90 97

posted by  someone claiming to be Martin on  Wed Nov 22 09:28 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Iīve got the same problem. It only occurs when not driven for a while - eg when cold. Test your car like this: first, secure the car by the mechanical brake. When the starter wont respond, keep the key in starting position and move the shifter slightly. Not as far as into R, of course...

Havenīt got shiftlock on mine but this simple test might work anyway. If the starter responds when you move the shifter, somethingīs wrong in the protection circuit - probably the gear position switch or itīs alignment since the switch controls the P/N starter power.

Just wish I had that warranty, too...
